What We Think
Matthew Hayden has been associated with Mahindra for a long time now. On one occasion, he took the Scorpio N and XUV700 for a spin around Mahindra’s testing track in Chennai. The Australian cricketer famously loves Mahindra SUVs. On another occasion, he was spotted having a nice time with his family in a Mahindra PikUp truck back in Australia. It has been one of the most popular pickup trucks Down Under for a long time now. Hence, we can’t say that Matthew Hayden is alien to the Indian automobile giant.
